Summer Festivities.

We returned to Birmingham after our trip to the Mediterranean. We resumed our jobs in city centre. One evening after work we met to go to the shopping centre the Bull Ring and saw that they had these the Big Hoot owl statues everywhere. They all had different designs and they really were all over the city.

Veganised English Breakfast.

We had a hankering for a English Breakfast so we made a veganised version with Linda McCarthy Sausages.

On the weekend we decided to take the 8C inner city circle bus which may or may not be something that visitors to Brum would want to do. We did it just to say we did and see more of Brum.

This is the pizza we got at the monthy Birmingham Vegans Pizza Meet-up. The Birmingham Vegans host a pizza night on the first Tuesday of every month at the Wellington. It was the vegetarian hot which was extremely spicy. Both of our mouths were on fire.

We bought a clock which we needed for the lounge but also serves as an England souvenir since it is London themed. It's actually a nice clock. It ticks very nicely. What? Seriously, it does.

The girls had a hair party outside to colour their hair. This is the set up. The hair products were vegan and really cheap courtesy of Super Drug.

In the Chinese Quarter there is a pagoda in the middle of the Holloway Circus roundabout.

For our 5 year wedding anniversary we saw a The Body Guard staring Alexandra Burke from X-Factor UK. It was a good show and Alexandra Burke is an excellent singer. It was showing at the Hippodrome.

We went out to dinner for our anniversary as well. It was a bit tricky finding a fancy place to have vegan food so we went for a little more of a casual place, the Acro Lounge. Loungers is a chain with locations all over the UK. It was pretty nice and funnily enough was completely full of couples. Great minds think alike. We started with hummus with ciabatta.

For our mains we had falafel burgers with slaw and chips. Dessert was dark chocolate ginger torte. Everything was delicious.

We felt lazy the next day and ordered Mr Singh's pizza for dinner. We got the vegan pepperoni pizza which was just the right amount of spice.

In order to explore our neighbourhood, we went for a walk to Warley Woods which is pretty nice. It is a huge field and has some "wilderness" trails as well.

This is a drinking fountain from 1907.

We hiked deep into the "wilderness".

Here is one of us Bushwhacking in the "wilderness".

What's this a fair?

Oh it's the Filipino festival. We had no idea that there was a fair happening in Bearwood.

They had lots of rides at the Filipino festival as well.

A few days later I had an interview with a recruitment agency and after my interview I showed up at my previous place of employment to say hello. My former colleague and I decided to get some lunch together at The Victorian Restaurant.

Inside the restaurant

I had the vegetable pie. I just asked the server what they had that was vegan and they suggested the vegetable pie. It was alright. They had a better vegan option than I was expecting so it never hurts to ask.

Toronto is the capital city of the Province of Ontario in Canada. It is also the most populated city in Canada. It has to be the most well known Canadian city around the world along with Montreal. It is sarcastically referred to as the "centre of the universe" by other Canadians. Is Toronto worth a visit? Of course, it is! We have no hate for Toronto and in fact, there is a lot to love about Toronto.

There are quite a few 100% vegan restaurants in the UK. We are going to look at the cream of the crop and what makes them special. All these places are outstanding so we wanted to highlight them in this list. The list is a little London heavy but that is where the majority of the vegan restaurants are. Sorry, non-vegan restaurants were cut from this list. These are the best of the best vegan restaurants you will find in the United Kingdom (At least we think so!). We have based this list on the vegan places we have been too, and want to go back to ASAP.

After two months of living out of our SUV, we have learned a lot about ourselves and the ins and outs of setting up a vehicle for sleeping. We were not sure how it was going to go or if it was something that we would get sick of really quick. Overall it has gone better than we expected. It's also a good thing that we brought a tent as a back up because depending on the weather conditions a tent can be more comfortable. Here are some things to keep in mind when you are considering living out of a vehicle.

Are you mentally prepared?
You have to be comfortable with the idea of living in a vehicle and being able to put up with the possibility of discomfort. If you are used to going camping then it should be no big deal to you. You also have to be prepared for people thinking that sleeping in a vehicle is strange and sleeping in parking lots like Wal-Mart is strange. People will stare at your set up but I don't think they are being judgmental, they are just curious about what you a…

We are a married couple from Vancouver Island (Canada) that enjoys travelling to new places and seeking out vegan food so we thought the name Wanderlust Vegans fit us well.
We fell in love with blogging and making videos. For us, we enjoy taking photos, and videos and then turning them into something that we can look back on fondly. Our blog is like a virtual scrapbook for us. We figure that our travels might be entertaining for others to watch as well. On top of writing a travel diary we like to write vegan guides and budget travel tips to help out fellow travellers. To sum it all up, we love to travel, we're vegan for the animals, and we like to entertain ourselves and others.

There are so many great vegan travel bloggers out there that we wanted to quickly get to know a few more of them better with another mini interview. We enjoy checking out other vegan travel bloggers to see what they're up to. Whether you're a junk food vegan, whole foods vegan gym rat, yearly vacationer or digital nomad it's great that you're sharing your lives with us through your blogs.

If you are planning a visit to Canada, or maybe you're a Canadian looking to do some domestic travel, then these are the places you are going to want to check out. Canada is full of natural beauty and wilderness to enjoy so there are lots of reasons to visit Canada. You're not going to find a vegan donut shop out in the wilderness so this is a city slicker guide on the best places veganised across Canada.

Chances are when you visit Canada you are going to end up in a city even if you're on your way to somewhere more remote. Bigger cities tend to be the best places to visit for vegan food in Canada. For the smaller towns, you can always try your luck at finding some vegan options or hit up the local grocery store. Use the Happy Cow app. If you want to see some fun cities and get some memorable vegan cuisine then check out these places across Canada.
